He originally got 20 days but only served 16. Wonder if ESPN will keep him.
ESPN analyst and former NBA player Jalen Rose was released early Thursday from a suburban Detroit jail after serving time for drunken driving.
Rose, 38, was released from the Oakland County Jail after 16 days behind bars, the sheriff’s department told The Associated Press. He reported to jail Aug. 2 to begin a 20-day sentence from a judge who’s known for tough punishments.
Rose has apologized for his actions. James Burdick, a lawyer for Rose, said his client shouldn’t have been sent to jail.
“He is the most hands-on socially conscious and charitable person I have known,” Burdick wrote in an email. “He is the last person, in my opinion, for the judge to have imposed her rule that everyone with DUI `must’ be sent to jail.”
Yahoo has more about Rose’s release.
